This is expected and normal? Demand for locally sourced goods will skyrocket which means prices should as well. What you are leaving out is that the US is well capitalized and those sky high prices will be a strong incentive for more competitors to join the market. With competition in place prices will eventually fall. Prices will likely never go back as low but at least our fellow countrymen will be employed, housed and hopeful instead of on the streets doing fentanyl.
People will starting fighting against more houses being built to protect their wealth even more than now. You'll be earning like $25/hr at the factory and all the single-family houses are 300k+ with significant interest. Assuming they never have a huge healthcare bill which also shows no signs of becoming affordable, if the factory jobs even offer decent benefits but my guess is they will all be high deductible plans.
